[Trlog] Problem encountered with trlinux 0.56

[Tree]

I downloaded the compiled 0.56 version and see the same weirdness that Ken
saw.

I do not see this with what could be considered a 0.57 candidate compiled
on my development computer.

So something must be amiss in the process of generating the binary that
ended up on the web site (I don't do this myself).
